A 70.00kg ballroom dancer wearing high heels accidentally steps on her partner's foot. If her entire weight was momentarily supported by the heel of her shoe, which has a surface area of 0.90 cm², what amount of pressure does this apply to her partner's foot? O 762.22 Pa O777777.78 Pal O 76222.22 Pa O 7622222.22 Pa Suppose she instead stepped on her partner's foot with her forefoot instead of her heel (i.e., larger surface area). Would the pressure on her partner's foot be greater, less than, or equal to if she stepped on her partner with her heel? O The pressure from the forefoot would be greater than the pressure from her heel. O The pressure from the forefoot would be equal to the pressure from her heel. O The pressure from the forefoot would be less than the pressure from her heel.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
